MoCo bill would prohibit ICE building permits The Montgomery County Council announced its latest step Monday to counter the federal campaign to deport immigrants, which has disrupted the lives of hundreds of county residents.

Montgomery County wants to ban permits for ICE facilities after seeing warehouses turned into detention centers in other parts of the state. My latest: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Providence continues protesting U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in national day of action “This fight is bigger than one president," said Sterk Zaza. "It is about ending a system that profits from death and destruction. It is about creating a new world where we have dignity."

“This fight is bigger than one president," said Sterk Zaza. "It is about ending a system that profits from death and destruction. It is about creating a new world where we have dignity."

I assume this is exact same rationale Ted Cruz, more commonly known as the Zodiac Killer, used when he murdered at least five people in the San Francisco Bay Area between December 1968 and October 1969.

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer. From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

During a reactionary war a revolutionary class cannot but desire the defeat of its government.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?

Wait. He didn't.

I think people should know that the person who took the position below is a member of the Texas bar and that her name is Mary Larakers.

The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill - full stop.

St. John's University says it no longer recognizes faculty unions after 56 years St. John's University in Queens, New York, notified employees on Feb. 19 that it will no longer recognize the two unions that have represented faculty members at the Catholic university since 1970.

"This shameful attack on the St. John's faculty union betrays the university's history and most deeply-held Catholic values. It's outrageous that religious leaders are joining in the assaults on higher education that are happening nationwide."

— Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

It's depressing how quickly the Trump regime's cold-blooded murders in the Caribbean Sea have become background noise in the US. At least 150 people killed.

A lot of reporting on local law enforcement “refusing to work with ICE” is somewhat dishonest. You really cannot reduce deportations and detention without reducing policing and arrests, which requires a wholesale reexamination of the whole criminal system.

What is being labeled “controversial” today is the very knowledge Texas will need to survive tomorrow.

The question is no longer whether higher education can be saved as it is.

The question is whether we are ready to imagine—and build—what comes next.

Important op-ed in the @texasobserver.org.

This is so fucked up. They are trying to make it impossible to exist as a trans person. They are trying to eradicate trans people.

Fuck every single person who helped usher in transphobia, in a big way or small.

Immiseration is their guiding principle.

Censorship Is Bigger in Texas Texas officials apparently think Texas students are stupid snowflakes who must be protected from hearing controversial ideas.

⭐️⭐️”Instead of calling for faculty to have their teaching judged by experts…the regents are imposing a highly restrictive set of broad political bans on how professors teach. Making professors scared to say what they really think is an explicit goal of these TX censors.” 🥶

UCLA Faculty Beat the Trump Admin. Other Schools Should Take Notes. Trump's DOJ drops appeal of court order blocking massive UCLA settlement that would have banned diversity programs and declared transgender people don't exist.

The AAUP achieved a major victory against the Trump administration.

Our legal win in AAUP v. Trump ensured that the administration "cannot use civil rights laws or federal funding as a cudgel to remake the UC in its ideological image."

Workers’ resolve drives increase in unionization in 2025 In 2025, 16.5 million workers in the United States were represented by a union—an increase of 463,000 from 2024 and the highest number of unionized workers in the U.S. in 16 years. These 16.5 million ...

Nearly *half a million more U.S. workers* were represented by a union in 2025 than 2024.

In a time of fear, and uncertainty, working people want greater agency in the workplace and in making policy that shapes their lives.
